Reading must be done daily and must be recorded in planners. In Year 3, there will be a focus on times tables as we look forwards to the MTC in Year 4. Regularly engaging with TTRS will help to support and maintain the fluency of times tables, and will support how the children are able to approach other maths problems.
We look forward to an exciting year ahead in Year 3!
